Re: Commonwealth Games
OK, the first event in the Commonwealth Games is under way.
As a bit of fun, how many more gold medals will Australia win than England?
I'm going for 20.
Best regards.

Re: Commonwealth Games

I assuming that the number of gold medal available to be close to 100!!

Hey! Maybe I shot too low with 21 but I guess it's against the rules to change now! See the 1998 results:
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) - Final medals table at the 16th Commonwealth Games:
Country Gold Silver Bronze Total
Australia 80 60 58 198
England 36 47 53 136
